De Niro has won two Academy Awards: Best Actor for his role in Raging Bull; and Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather Part II.
De Niro with Al Pacino on the set of The Godfather Part II. De Niro and Pacino never shared any screen time during the film.De Niro and Marlon Brando are the only actors who won Academy Awards for portraying the same character: Brando won for playing the elderly Don Vito Corleone (though he declined the award) in The Godfather while De Niro later won the award for playing the young Vito in The Godfather Part II. Brando and De Niro did not work together on screen until The Score (2001). De Niro actually auditioned for the role of Sonny in the first Godfather but the role was given to James Caan. When The Godfather Part II was in preproduction, the director, Francis Ford Coppola, remembered De Niro's audition, and knew he was going to play young Vito Corleone. De Niro's performance is one of only four to win an Academy Award for working in a foreign language, as he primarily spoke Italian, with very few phrases in English ("I didn't come here to fight with you" and "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse").

Maybe it's because I JUST saw it like 9 hours ago, but def. Casino. For a comedic role he was great in... Crap I can't think of the name and I'm too lazy to look it up. It's the one with Billy Crystal (his therapist) and Lisa Kudrow.
